There has been not a little gossip In
this CITY siEoe the indictments have
been found against General Hill as to
the prOpFiety Of that gentleman lending
the oolsmn In the great parade here on
the Fourth of July. So frequent bad
the question been asked on the street
that the PosT -ISTELLI9KNCER GORE
spOndent called upon Mr.. /. W. AndeF-
son, Chairman Of the Committee on
Programme, yesterday, and asked him
II there had been any change IN the at
FangemeBts With regard to General Hill.
Certainly NOT" said Mr.. Anderson.
"While there have been some uely
charges entered against General Hill,
be has not been tried upon them or ad-
judged guilty, and Il Is not for rs 70 do
one or the other In advance Of the
court. He Ia the Adjutant General OF
the militia Of the Territory, and as
such vas invited TO marshal the parade,
he has accepted and no other arrange
ment will be made Of course 30 long al
be signifies his willingness to serve b.
not resiRninR."
